NuVena Herbs – Sage 1kg
Description:
Sage – Salvia officinalis
Sage is a powerful medicinal herb with a broad spectrum of health benefits, thanks to its rich content of over 160 active polyphenols, essential oils, and high levels of vitamin K.
Known for its strong antioxidant properties, sage may help reduce cancer risk and support brain health. Its antimicrobial action makes it a valuable ally in preventing and treating infections of the mouth, gums, and throat.
Sage also plays an important role in supporting the immune system and fighting off infections. In the digestive tract, it acts as an antispasmodic, easing discomfort and aiding digestion. It is particularly useful for horses prone to colic or flatulence.
Research on both humans and animals shows that sage helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a great support for horses with metabolic syndrome, especially when combined with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Additionally, sage is traditionally used to help dry off lactating mares after their foal is weaned, naturally reducing milk production.
